charade

━━ chess pieces, pawns.

"MIYA, YOU DAMN SLUT. Aren't you quite aware of just how many women did Ran fuck inside his office? He's a potential red flag. Why are you even having a blissful fucking session with him everytime? In our workplace at that!" You exclaimed in a murmur way, e/c eyes rolling irksomely at your best friend whilst taking a pygmy sip on the frappe you ordered.

Both of you are currently out in a fancy cafe that one of your bosses owned since it's a casual break anyway and talking about the previous events in Bonten's premises have always been your small hobby ever since you and Miya became close, take today's event as an example. And if you were to talk about what Miya and Ran showcased in front of you, the only response you'll ever receive from Miya is:

"Well, he's good at striding. Oh, y/n. What do you mean by red flag? I am color blind." Miya retorted, casually licking her lower lip like she had a great time from being Ran's full-time bitch. She flipped her short wavy hair sideways before giggling seductively, remembering the times where Ran and her had been dominating the office of the latter.

"Gosh, Miya. You love chasing men with so many red flags. Color blind? Oh, girl. You're not color blind. You are a fucking bull. Got that? A bull." You sneered, following it with a chuckle whilst making Miya divert her attention hastily towards you, finger pointed at your direction and seemed like she's close to actually shoving it down your throat.

"I'm so pretty to be considered as a fucking bull! But, you actually got a point." The latter exclaimed before moving the chess piece to take down one of your pawns. Chess, a hobby of yours to play whenever no one's around and you're free. Sadly, the other one expertising in this kind of game hasn't arrived in Japan yet or maybe he already did but is just too inept in messaging you.

"Whatever." Rolling your eyes, you then pushed your best friend's hands lightly away from you whilst your e/c eyes roamed around the board's perimeter, too fixated on what move to do next.

"But hey, what's the catch with Hanma? Has he arrived from Germany yet? He's coming at 3, right? What exactly did he invest in the company?" Miya opened up, opening her purse to pay for the drinks she bought, earning a blunt scoff from you.

You licked the stained cream in your lips before grinning and even though unsure of the man's plans, pinpointing the matter is what's important right now, "That bitch surely had a lot of fun forming connections in the western portions. I don't know when he will arrive though. He didn't message me but Rindou informed me yesterday that he'll be investing a handful of aphrodisiacs inside Bonten. Would you look at that ass surprising us with that kind of entrance?"

"Of all the drugs to stock, he chose the most bullshit one. How is that gonna help anyways?" With face squinting in unpleasantness, Miya puffed a distress air before putting the black card she had on the table.

"Wait, just when did you get a black card?" You asked, eyebrows' meeting in one line while staring at the card since it's the first time that you saw Miya carrying one and the latter didn't really inform you that she's getting one. If Miya did really tell her then you wouldn't have been poorly paying the stuff you bought by using the platinum card that Sanzu lent.

"Ran gave this to me. He's spoiling me, of course." Miya smirked.

"Oh, goodness gracious," You said, almost slapping your forehead in disdain but chose to clear your throat instead, "Anyways, we didn't mention any specific drugs to Hanma. He just did his job. Besides, those vitamins are essential inside hubs, clubs, and nighttime bars in Roppongi though I don't know if they'll sell it there. And there's no way for Rindou to reject an offer that will surely benefit his pocket. Am I wrong?"

"You surely took a hard time memorizing their characters, huh?" Miya chuckled, fully aware that when it comes to things like that, you have the ace since Miya herself is far from being an observant. She only knows how to play with men's hearts, use them for their pleasure and dump them afterwards - one that she's also doing with Ran. Merely a replacement and a toy, that's how they see each other in all terms.
